Having read all that, it seems that more robust, lightweight batteries and improved charging infrastructure would be a much better long-term solution. Just more stuff to go haywire if you're towing a trailer with as much sophistication as the vehicle you're driving - not to mention the cost of...

You had me with "...I'm from Norway...".

Windshield wiper mount adaptor for different model vehicles.

Does this look like it?

On my '23 Lariat (delivered 1/16/24), it says trial expires on 1/16/27. After that date, I apparently have two choices: I can pay $49 per month (or prepay $495 per year), or I can choose "choose another plan." The details in this choice state that I can get 1 free year for $0, and there is a...

It's all in the court of public opinion. It wasn't long ago when people would buy Lightnings at MSRP and sell them for over $100K. As an example, my old Chevy Volt keeps bouncing up and down in value (I get emails all the time from Carvana) depending on the above-mentioned public opinion. This...

Thanks. I wonder if they make something that attaches between the rear of the truck and the front of the trailer to make the whole rig basically one object moving through the airstream. Something stretchy and yet able to deflect air?

I don't own a trailer, but I wonder how a hi-low type trailer fares in terms of the percentage of range loss?

Looks like an X-Ray of an aliens spine.

I'm happy you're here too, Brian! I used to be a Network Administrator and a programmer. I can say I definitely would like to see the nerdy stuff and be more informed about OTA updates. Anti-glare headlight settings for all would be nice. Real leather covering the entire seat (I have the Lariat...

I know what everyone's thinking on the name...or maybe it's just me.

Ugh, I know. Cotton balls 7 drops peppermint oil on each placed in small receptacle (I use those little metal ingredient cups) and placed strategically around the truck - in frunk storage compartment, center console, under rear seat. -- no mice, ever! Renew 3 drops on each one every 6 mos...

This popped into my Google feed this morning. Has anyone else seen Ford's latest sales figures? https://autos.yahoo.com/ev-and-future-tech/articles/ford-sees-remarkable-sales-surge-091500323.html

I know, that's significant tweaking on what is it, 2 or 3 modules to get the glare free feature.

A Kill-O-Watt or similar power meter could out rule any unwarranted load from the older cooler. But I suspect like others it could be a re-calculation of SOC based on temperature changes experienced by the BMS, plus energy to keep the battery in its happy zone.

That's correct. Apparently, you can adjust the target SOC using FDFS to around 90% from the default on some models that for some reason are pre-set at around 80%. I was reading that this can cause result in SOC fluctuations up to 98% though, so not sure if I want to try changing the default SOC...

Thanks Tim, but what is the voltage threshold for updates potentially failing?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not one to repeat mistakes - that's why I'm on this board. That and to share whatever meager knowledge I can. We have a wealth of former electrical engineers and auto technicians. I can remember when even EVs were simple, a chopper controller, a bunch 6 or 12v...
